Director Statement

In this work I respond, the socio-political conditions in Surabaya City, when a pandemic of corona virus broke out throughout East Java, Indonesia. How then, politicians are more busy dwelling on regulations, and seem to allow deaths in their region to increase and no longer controlled. In this work, I mocked goverment with female subject that wrapped on plastic, because Surabaya and East Java, now being led by a female mayor and governor who are now busy with internal conflicts in their own government, rather than thinking about the fate of their million citizens. Resulting in half the occupation of East Java, died because of COVID-19, and became the highest death rate in all parts of Indonesia.
